Venezuela Rising

Venezuela Rising. In this short film many conflicts are being shown. The number one conflicts are that minorities have no say in what the government does. Nobody cares about what they say. Also, everyday goods are being over priced so that only the rich can afford them. The idea of isolation and loss are portrayed throughout this film. Isolation because the minorities and the kids who are protesting have no control over what the government is doing to them and they can not control whats going on. The idea of loss is portrayed because protesters are being killed left and right and families are devastated by the loss of their loved ones. people are losing themselves as well because they have nothing to look forward to. Their "president" (I emphasized president because the election was rigged and hes doing a horrible job) is not doing much to help the poor nor does he care. His motorcycle gang (Collectivos) is taking everyone out without a care in the world. As long as he reigns on top he does not care about what goes on around him which is horrible. The president should try to make living a little easier for everyone but that's not the case, things are more difficult and people are fighting to stay above water. Sorry for jumping around but, back to the idea of isolation. The general population is being isolated from everything. they have nothing to look forward to because it is all gone. They have been isolated from the country in a way because nobody pays them attention. The Collectivos are just hired by the government and if they were in the same position as the other they would see what they are doing is so wrong. Honestly the President of Venezuela should get a taste of his own medicine and see how it feels. such a beautiful country going to waste.

  1. Wow, you made some really interesting points in your blog. You are absolutely right, it is so sad to see a beautiful country going downhill and struggling. What is happening in Venezuela is just cruel and unfair. Just like you said there are so many people getting killed, old and youth alike. With them, their dreams, and aspirations for their country die with them. Let’s hope that Venezuela and other countries will soon come to a realization that war and violence is not the answer.

  2. I like how you brought up the idea of both loss and isolation in this blog. Also, you did an amazing job connecting he two. But do you think there could be another way for them to get peace without violence?
